Hi there, there are many posts about how to incorporate extra domains on an install, but after searching could not find this:
- I have a WPMU with subdirectories on http://www.domain1.com
- I have about a dozen domains including http://www.domain2.com & http://www.domain1.net/org etc. They are currently parked on top of domain1.com
I do not need the extra domains per se, but they cover easily made misspellings. Of course I would like that blog1.domain2.com is working even if it the URL should be blog1.domain1.com. (I have no interest in having 2 different domains up with identical sub domains, so blog1.domain1.com & blog1.domain2.com do/should not be different blogs.)
Logically (maybe not practically :) I see two variations:
1): Redirect: blog1.domain2.com just redirects to blog1.domain1.com (so not just to http://www.domain1.com) I assume this can be done with .htaccess, but am not sure if any rewrite rules will mess with the ones already there for WMPU?
2): all variations work/resolve: blog1.domain2.com/net etc will just show the actual blog that is on blog1.domain1.com.
Not sure if this is possible, if so where this should be changed/added?
My questions:
- Which of the 2 above would be better,
- how could they be set up: on the http.conf (I have access), via .htaccess or different?
- If on .htaccess, how to prevent interference (order of statements?) and does it matter if .htaccess will get 30-40 lines?
Thanks for your time
